7 SIMPLE WAYS TO ELEVATE YOUR SPACE

May is almost here and there’s never been a better time for a little spring cleaning and decorating. We’re not talking about organizing the attic, we’re talking about reimagining your space with a few incredible design techniques that will add a whole new perspective to your interior. Whether that means replacing an old kitchen faucet or simply opting for new decor accessories, join us as we discuss seven different ways to refresh your home for spring. 

OLD FIXTURES MADE NEW

Getting rid of traditional fixtures is a sure way to transform your space into something more fresh and modern. This example features a beautifully decorated white ensemble with strategically adorned pops of gold and majestic metallic finishes. Opt for VIGO’s Edison Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in a matte brushed gold finish to give your quick and easy remodel a modern flair. If you’re looking to add a lot by doing a little, then consider a new stove or fridge and a fresh coat of paint.

HOME DECOR WITH MEANING

Personalizing your space isn’t just a great way to “wow” your guests, but it’s also an opportunity to do something for yourself. After all, this is your home — allow your personality to shine through and you’ll be amazed at the new level of appreciation that you have for your design. Adding things like unexpected throw rugs, decorative vases, reclaimed picture frames, vintage furniture, and unique antiques is a splendid way to add some character and kitsch to your kitchen.

ACCESSORIZED CEILINGS

Interesting ceiling designs and esoteric lighting layouts have become a new trend in kitchen design and kitchen remodels. Skylights are also a great idea if your budget and design can accommodate them. However, you don’t need to make a massive change to see a big difference. Adding additional lighting or a playful pattern could be all your ceiling needs to be on the up-and-up.

BRING YOUR DESIGN TOGETHER

A cohesive design is key if you want to get the most out of your space. This example features a bucolic Farmhouse style that feels both chic and traditionally appealing. Choosing similar materials and complementary surfaces will make your interior feel more curated and aesthetically unified. Also, notice how this ensemble uses warm earth tones and wood in the kitchen, whereas the dining area is much brighter and features an almost completely white palette with hints of greenery. Adopt this traditional yet timeless trend by easily installing a VIGO Matte Stone™ Farmhouse Kitchen Sink. With a variety of apron fronts, you can choose a farmhouse sink that fits in with the rest of your home style. Your design can change slightly from room to room, just make sure that there’s a discernible flow and sensible layout.

GO INTO THE LIGHT

People are inherently drawn to areas with bright natural lighting and open spaces. Your guests and loved ones will spend most of their time in common areas near windows, so be sure to take advantage of these spaces. Find creative ways to utilize reading nooks, dining areas, and gathering spaces so they can be used to their fullest potential. You can also give your window treatments a refresh by adding light and airy curtains or window shutters. If your space doesn’t offer a ton of natural light, installing LED spotlights is the best alternative. 

UPDATE AND ELEVATE

Adding a new faucet, bath, or shower can be all that your design needs to go from drab to fab. In this space, the dark cabinetry accents the white bathtub and marble tiling. You too can achieve this look by simply updating just one or two of the fixtures in your bathroom. For example, installing a new single-handle bathroom faucet for a more modern look. You can also upgrade your bathroom vanity by DIY installing a vessel sink and pairing it with a sleek vessel faucet. Providing a world of opportunity, VIGO offers a variety of bathroom faucet designs with finishes including matte black, matte brushed gold, chrome, and brushed nickel. You’ll be amazed at how one simple change can become the centerpiece of your entire design. Explore some of VIGO’s bathroom sink sets and start your bathroom refresh today. 

BIG ROOM. BIG OPTIONS.

Spacious living rooms allow you and your loved ones to spread out and take full advantage of the extra space. To cultivate the ultimate space, opt for charming seating solutions that will help to promote great conversation. To keep your room from feeling too spread out or too one-sided, create multiple seating options for you and your guests. Having two prominent seating areas instead of one is a great way to encourage separate conversations in a more congenial atmosphere. You can also include chic ottomans, poufs, or benches for additional seating options that double as great decor accents. 

If you follow some of the solutions and techniques outlined above, you’ll be able to do some serious decorating and organizing this spring. Don’t be afraid to change one thing or change everything. A few simple changes can make a world of difference, so use your incredible design skills wisely. Now go out there and transform your house into the home you’ve always dreamed of.
